Just got the Screw Attack, and if I know anything about Metroid by now, that means I'm probably closing in on the end.

(BTW, sorry for the double post. Man this thread has been slow...)

Oh don't worry, this thread s going to be rocking like a Brinstar Bar Mitzvah in a couple of weeks!

But that would be nor fair to underage gamers. We can't just get ridley of them.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 better be happening! In the meanwhile though, here's a fun little Let's Play of the original. Think you'll like the game if you like Zelda!LeT's PlAy BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL < Link to LP

I liked Metroid Fusion better. The extra color, sound, and easier controls were what made me like it SLIGHTLY better. The only issue was game length in comparison. There's pros each one has, like Super Metroid being longer, better environment, the grapple beam, running all fast like, and Fusion having more color, and easier controls I think. Both worth a play definitely, but I actually like the first and third Prime most...

Super Metroid actually isn't that long. If you know where to go you can really run through the game pretty quick.

Metroid Fusion is just a "go here and do this" kind of game, whereas Super Metroid is a "where the %$#@ do I go?" kind of game. The "go here and do this" kind of games seem to be popular these days, where most open-world games in the NES-SNES era were that of the latter. I personally prefer exploring rather than being told where to go and what to do. To this day, I still can't get myself to play Metroid Prime 3. Who do these people think they are, giving Samus orders like that? I'll put up with that in Metroid Fusion or Zero Mission, because it's still got the classic Super Metroid gameplay, but if you take the exploration and agility out of a Metroid game, how is it even a Metroid game anymore? Oh, right, because you're playing as Samus....

I'm old school when it comes to gaming, grew up to colecovision & atari. I've played a many games on many systems in my day ... and Super Metroid always has and most likely always will be my Favorite Game Of All time!

Yeah, that is kinda a spore spawn spot with me. Eventually they will get there tourian though.

But they're being nICE now. They get to play Super Metroid so they are BEAMing with joy.

The only reason I'm so excited to get Super Metroid again for the Wii U VC is due to its gamepad support, as I've wanted a handheld Super Metroid experience for quite some time now. Once I download it, my Wii U playtime is going to spike.
